When structures made of concrete are demolished or renovated, concrete recycling is an increasingly common method of utilizing the rubble. Concrete was once routinely trucked to landfills for disposal, but recycling has a number of benefits that have made it a more attractive option in this age of greater environmental awareness, more environmental laws, and the desire to keep construction costs down.

Recycled Stone

Smaller pieces of concrete are used as gravel for new construction projects. Sub-base gravel is laid down as the lowest layer in a road, with fresh concrete or asphalt poured over it.

Virgin Stone

Any rock can become a sedimentary rock (even another sedimentary rock) is it is broken down by erosion, and the resulting sediment is then redeposited, undergoes compaction and consolidation and then lithification.

Top Soil

Topsoil is the upper, outermost layer of soil, usually the top 2 inches (5.1 cm) to 8 inches (20 cm). It has the highest concentration of organic matter and microorganisms and is where most of the Earth's biological soil activity occurs.

Natural Sand

Natural sand is created by river erosion, resulting in smooth and rounded products.
